If you like to dance and have fun, then It is a MUST!(Eu moro em São Paulo, uma cidade onde nós temos muitos lugares fantásticos para dançar, e se você vier aqui um dia cêdeve visitar alguns desses lugares! E se você gosta de dançar e se divertir, então é um dever!)

However you must remember that if you drink you must not drive and of course you must behave well and be polite and nice to everybody respecting the rules of the places.
(Contudo deve lembrar que se beber você não deve dirigir e claro você deve se comportar bem e ser educado e legal com todos respeitando as regras dos locais).

Guys, as you can see, in the sentences above I used many times MUST to talk about things you have the obligation and are prohibited of doing, and this is the subject of our chatlesson today!(Galera como vocês puderam ver, nas frases a cima eu usei várias vezes a palavra MUST para falar sobre coisas que você tem a obrigação e são proibidos de fazer, e é sobre isso que iremos conversar hoje).
